Hmm, I am doing this with kernel 2.2.13.ac3 and raidtools 0.90,
following the online HowTo as
close as possible...
If there is the problem you describe, why is lilo then able to
install a working boot sector on one of
the disks???
I tried to do a boot-disk as an alternative... although this _seems_
to work, the disk fails to boot when
done using lilo. The prompt comes up, it starts to load the kernel
but stops with the message error 0x10
Doing a boot disk with the dd-stuff works...
